Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving federal fair housing and state agency and disclosure practice. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 81)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- C. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- D. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because federal fair housing requires candidates to recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing. The Indiana reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
